Gain in Death

Philippians 1:21 (KJB) For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

The Apostle Paul gave us a powerful perspective about death. Not only that, he tells us that he is looking forward to gaining in his death.

Death is often not viewed as an advantage or something to gain in this world. In fact, grief, sadness, and many questions and unknowns accompany thoughts of death. Death seems final and fatal to any souls who are living outside of having a personal relationship with ...

Paul Returns to The Galatian Church

Galatians 1:6-7 (KJB) I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: ⁷ Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

Paul is amazed as he returns to visit the Galatian church.

Why?

Because these fresh converts whom Paul had given the gospel message on his most recent visit were now acquainted with a ...

Paul Was Relentless

Paul Was Relentless

Galatians 1:13-14 (KJB) For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: ¹⁴ And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

There was likely hardly a person in these ancient times who was not familiar with Paul, both after his conversion and well ...

Foolish Galatians Reprimanded

Galatians 3:1 (KJB) O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

Paul comes straight at obvious spiritual errors of the Galatians armed with the truths of God. Oh, how foolish they were in trying to keep the law, perhaps even making Paul’s heart skip a beat, as he considered their misplaced confidence in such blatantly incorrect doctrine.

Hadn’t they ...

Life Is Not All About Me, Myself, and I

Philippians 2:20-21 (KJB) For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. 21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.

The Apostle Paul made these remarks in dealing with Roman associates who often resorted to taking care of their own needs and feelings rather than noticing the needs of others about them. Anotherwards, they placed their individual needs ahead of the collective ...
